A Furuncle is a painful infection where?

  1. On the chest

  2. Of a hair follicle and adjacent tissue

  3. On the scalp

  4. Inside the mouth

The correct answer is: Of a hair follicle and adjacent tissue

A furuncle, also known as a boil, is a type of skin infection that happens when a hair follicle and the surrounding tissue become infected. This typically occurs on the surface of the skin, so options A, C, and D are incorrect. Additionally, a furuncle is a localized infection rather than something that would occur inside the mouth, making option D incorrect as well.
